Topic: Subscriptions to VOICE? (Read 3333 times)

Back in July, I asked John Stewart about the possibility of just subscribing to the VOICE without membership. John indicated that some discussion had bee surfaced but that nothing substantive had been addressed. That conversation may or may not have been turned over.

I'd like to suggest that consideration be given to making the VOICE available on a subscription only basis as a public relations tool. Places where I would consider making it available: doctor/dentist waiting rooms; dealer waiting room (garage, tire shops); my office waiting room; libraries. In other words, places where people might discover it -- and its picture of the recreational four wheeler as the "good guys" -- even if not actively looking for us. There are a number of magazines I will look at in those places where I would not necessarily purchase my own subscription or buy it at the newsstand.

Thoughts?

This has been discussed and Marti and Carla are looking into those options. At this point a final decision has not been made to my knowledge on how or where, but besure to watch for Marti or Carla's response on the progress of this!

To respond to your question: I would consider a subscription to the Voice an absolute bargain at $6.00 annual. I would expect to see it in the $8-10 annual range (assuming US delivery where it could take advantage of UFWDA's bulk postage rates for periodicals). I would have to think twice if it exceeded $12 annually for a non-member subscription.

I might would pay more if it was shown that the cost to the organization was more than that but somewhere in the $12 range, I would seriously consider buying a gift membership instead.

You may have been looking for a single number but I hope the amplifying remarks are more useful in making the necessary decisions.
